The first annual Kent Regional Algebra Weekend will be held November 18-19, 2006 on the Kent campus of Kent State University. The meeting will consist of approximately eight 50-minute colloquium-style lectures given by researchers from Ohio and neighboring states. The speakers will represent many sub-disciplines of algebra and we expect that the talks will appeal to a broad spectrum of algebraists. The meeting is being organized by Misha Chebotar, Steve Gagola, Mark Lewis, Sean Sather-Wagstaff, and Don White. Further information about the meeting can be found at the conference website.
